This all sounds terrifying!!!

have to agree with Stubby - what a drama queen, certainly no need for 3 exclamation marks, one would have been more than enough

To a hedge layer this is reading like the thread from hell.

 

Topping a mixed native hedge.. AAAAARGH!

It is a neater job than a tractor hedger anyway .it only grows back anyway in no time

Ive had the same happen with chains whilst cutting blackthorn scrub jumping off bar. Think new chains are worse as more "snatchy"

 

I think ideal chain for smaller diameter would be 1/4  pitch or maybe an anti kickback type.

 

Bit like a high tpi silky (fine tooth) does a smoother cut on smaller diameter branches

Just get a 661 with a 36" bar and stop wasting time.

I've often wondered what they would be like.

 

I've also had chains go slack when slashing away at loads of thin stems, it's just what happens.

Same thing when smashing up brash in the back of the truck in the dark, dark days of either no chipper or broken chipper.

 

The trick with hedges like this is to add a zero to the price and hope you don't get them.

The trick with hedges like this is to add a zero to the price and sub them out if you get them.

They are probably chainsaw shorts.
